https://volunteer.savebay.org/need/detail/?need_id=1245138 or https://www.blackstoneparksconservancy.org/sticks/
Meet at Blackstone Field, across from the Narragansett Boat Club for a shoreline cleanup but wait… there’s more! Fierce winter weather has left a lot of branches on the ground. Together we can show the Boulevard Park some love, while enjoying spring blossoms during Earth Month. It’s easy! Starting on April 1st, just pick up a few sticks (at least 1/2” around or 1’ long) and put them near a site marked with a green ribbon. Small twigs can stay where they are — they will break down and nourish the soil. The Parks Department will collect the stick piles for composting.

The event promotes neighborhood pride, public safety, and cross-sector collaboration while creating visible, lasting improvements in the Trinity Square corridor. A free lunch is provided to all volunteers to encourage broad participation and community engagement.
